@Mike H Thank you.
@Big Jim
Normally FS doesnt want to sell only handles or Yaqi have min order 500+ etc but i just requested to buy some handles and knots from these companies and they are accepted that is easy indeed
worth a try.Thank you.

They look beautiful, especially in bloom.
Have you used the knots from yaqi yet or just test lathers? What do you think of them

i just test lathered frank shaving handle ones but using my bethlehem olive wood handles so
Yaqi knots are extra dense because i mention to make them extra dense so they used %5 more hair than standart knots. Tips are little bit crispy when they are dry but when they are wet like a soft but quite enough backbone and excellent flow through .
All chinese hair and knot sellers named their knots differently so one of them say silvertip other other one say bleached silvertip so when i requested buy some hmw knots they sent me these badger knots normally their characteristics between HMW 3 band and selected silvertip hair type. its backbone is little bit more than silvertip but one step back from the HMW . i very much like their flow through im using all the lather in the brush quite enough for 3 passes .They are luxury badger knots thats all i can say at this point so i hope thats help.

Very nice FS handles !
I have some of them,i prefer to buy handles than knots from this brand
Lately i had too many failures so i stop buy from them (mother site or ebay sellers).

I lucked out on my FS Synthetic and got one that was set and performs perfectly! Went against the tide and rolled the proverbial dice I suppose. I didn't know you could order just the Handles (thanks for sharing), curious about where you go to do this? Is there a contact that can be shared or is this a "Do your research"? don't want to get anyone in trouble... I've recently gotten into bringing back some of my Vintage Handles to their former glory, but this is a brilliant idea as well!
